In part two of this episode. Nunavut is Canada's youngest territory.
Almost half of Nunavut's population is under the age of 20.
The average age in all of Canada is almost twice that,thirty seven.
So the concerns of young people in Inuit communities are critical.
Today young Inuit look as much to the south, as they do to their elders, for ways to live.They have more choices.With choice comes hard decisions, like how to embrace what's new, without discarding what makes Inuit culture so distinct.
